Just thought I would start a thread which didn't have deep philosophical overtones so that we all can have fun with the new forum software. Based upon personal experience, I will start a list of “You know you are a swimmer when …” with the following:
You know you are a swimmer when you leave work in the rain and you can smell the chlorine coming off of your hair.
Anyone care to add to the list?

How's this for being over the top...
Someone at work makes a comment about another woman possessing "bought and paid for" body parts, and you don't understand that she is talking about surgical enhancements because you can't imagine spending money on something that would slow you down in the pool...
The principal walks into your classroom and the 1st grade "exercise leader" is conducting a series of rotator cuff stregthening maneuvers while you follow along with hand weights...
Your husband asks your daughter what mom is doing and she replies, "oh, she's flailing around like a fish out of water in front of the mirror again."
Your idea of a perfect day includes several hours at the gym and then shopping for a new Nike or TYR suit.
